1. Counselors as the Foundation of Global Change.

Author

Skelton, Doris

Abstract

This paper reports on a qualitative research project based on a needs assessment of counselor training as well as a review of relevant literature. It presents a STAR* Model (*Student Training and Achievement Re-envisioned), four ways to propose changes in a counselor education graduate program that will encompass needed changes while not taking away more time from students. The four approaches for change in counselor preparation are: curriculum enhancement; professional development school; international professional development; and cyberspace. The goals are to better train counselors so they will have a firm foundation to develop diversity awareness and responsibility through a transformed worldview. It concludes that this process can lead to acceptance of the richness of global differences which can provide an expanded perspective for solving problems, engaging in creative projects, reaping the benefits of collaboration and research, and implementing global change.

2. The Role of the Rural School Counselor: Counselor, Counselor-in-Training, and Principal Perceptions

Author

Monteiro-Leitner, Julieta, Asner-Self, Kimberly K., Milde, Cheryl, Leitner, Dennis W., and Skelton, Doris

Abstract

The American School Counselor Association developed a comprehensive set of school counseling guidelines to enhance the school counselor's role within schools in the United States. This study looks at counselors' and principals' perceptions of the school counselor's role in a Midwestern, regional rural educational environment. Results suggest that the perceptions of school counselors, counselors-in-training, and principals are, for the most part, similar. Differences occur in relation to addressing student (i.e., special education program versus student guidance) and administrative (i.e., clerical, secretarial, disciplinary duties) needs given limited personnel and economic resources. Limitations are discussed and suggestions for future research and advocacy are presented.
